Sysadm::Install contains typical installation tasks for system administrators.SYNOPSIS use Sysadm::Install qw(:all); my $INST_DIR = '/home/me/install/'; cd($INST_DIR); cp("/deliver/someproj.tgz", "."); untar("someproj.tgz"); cd("someproj"); # Write out ... blurt("Builder: MikenDate: Todayn", "build.dat"); # Slurp back in ... my $data = slurp("build.dat"); # or edit in place ... pie(sub { s/Today/scalar localtime()/ge; $_; }, "build.dat"); make("test install"); # run a cmd and tap into stdout and stderr my($stdout, $stderr, $exit_code) = tap("ls", "-R");Have you ever wished for your installation shell scripts to run reproducably, without much programming fuzz, and even with optional logging enabled? Then give up shell programming, use Perl.Sysadm::Install executes shell-like commands performing typical installation tasks: Copying files, extracting tarballs, calling make. It has a fail once and die policy, meticulously checking the result of every operation and calling die() immeditatly if anything fails.Sysadm::Install also supports a dry_run mode, in which it logs everything, but suppresses any write actions. Dry run mode is enabled by calling Sysadm::Install::dry_run(1). To switch back to normal, call Sysadm::Install::dry_run(0).As of version 0.17, Sysadm::Install supports a confirm mode, in which it interactively asks the user before running any of its functions (just like rm -i). confirm mode is enabled by calling Sysadm::Install::confirm(1). To switch back to normal, call Sysadm::Install::confirm(0).Sysadm::Install is fully Log4perl-enabled. To start logging, just initialize Log::Log4perl. Sysadm::Install acts as a wrapper class, meaning that file names and line numbers are reported from the calling program's point of view. Requirements: · Perl
